Therapists in Chicago, IL

People often come to me because they are in pain. Pain can be difficult to handle alone and may feel overwhelming or hopeless. Therapy can help to share that experience, explore concerns, and create a more meaningful life. As a therapist, I focus on creating a warm, empathic, and nurturing atmosphere encouraging curiosity and exploration. I enjoy reflecting with my patients on how their life experiences have led up to where they are today. Together, we may explore unconscious patterns in behavior, dreams, motivations, relationships, and emotions to create a deeper understanding of oneself and increase self-awareness.

Welcome. Are you feeling misunderstood or perhaps not feeling heard? My intention is to offer a non-judgmental space to talk through past and present feelings and situations that may be uncomfortable, painful, stressful or overwhelming. I most often work with those who feel stuck due to anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, ADHD and grief/loss, including support for individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community. Reaching out for and participating in therapy may seem daunting; part of my role is to help work through any uneasiness or apprehension.

You’ve just about had enough. Everyone needs something from you but when you need something? Crickets. Romantic relationships have only added to your stress, and you can never seem to do anything right in the eyes of your partner. Insecurities bring out the worst in you, and none of the changes you’ve tried to make to yourself—inside or out—make any difference. The ambitions you have for your career are big, but when you think about the future, you feel stuck in a rut. You feel lonely, even though you have family and friends around you all the time. And telling them how you feel? Not an option. They’d only use it against you later.

I believe therapy is the client’s personal space to develop new skills, persevere through obstacles, and heal their internal wounds as they navigate their journey of life. I use a multicultural lens during therapy and aim to help clients achieve the goals they bring with them. I like to utilize a mixture of theories and models to tailor to the clients’ needs, as I believe there is no “one way” or “right way” to achieve growth. This includes but is not limited to play therapy, DBT, emotion focused therapy, grief work, mindfulness practices, intergenerational theory, and many others. I work with children ages 5 – 12, teens & families.

Therapist’s help can be life transforming whether you are struggling with a long-standing mental concern or have encountered a distressing situation recently. Oftentimes, when life throws challenges at us, we can bounce back, but sometimes we need someone by our side, who would listen, but not judge; who would be empathetic and curious; who would possibly offer an unexpected perspective or a “bird’s eye view” of the problem; who would acknowledge our strengths and encourage our growth; who would guide through the healing process and equip with skills essential to managing difficult emotions, thoughts, behaviors.
